KMS Server Update to Support Windows 10 Activation

Preparing to the official launch of Windows 10, in June Microsoft released an update KB 3058168 for Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 to support KMS (Key Management Service) activation of Windows 10. The update installs updated versions of configuration files necessary for correct Windows 10 activation on the KMS server and a new version of Cryptxml.dll.

Select the OS version installed on your KMS server and download the corresponding update package.

Important. After you install this update, it is not recommended to install language packs in the system. Otherwise, the language-specific changes won’t be applied to your KMS server and you’ll have to reinstall the update.

Run the installation of the update by clicking Windows8.1-KB3058168-x64.msu or running this command:

wusa Windows8.1-KB3058168-x64

wusa Windows8.1-KB3058168-x64

On the Volume Licensing Service Center you need to get KMS host key (Windows Srv 2012R2 DataCtr/Std KMS for Windows 10) and install it on the KMS server:

Slmgr.vbs /ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx

Slmgr.vbs /ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx

Restart Software Protection:

net stop sppsvc

net stop sppsvc

net start sppsvc

net start sppsvc

After that, RTM versions of Windows 10 Professional can be successfully activated on the KMS server.
